Current report

For the second quarter and year-to-date 2025, operating profit margin under GAAP was 17.5% and 17.7%, respectively, a decline of 240 basis points and 220 basis points compared to 2024, primarily due to a $47 million and $68 million decrease in net gains on insurance settlements recognized during the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Comparable hotel EBITDA margin was 31.0% and 31.4%, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2025, respectively, a decline of 120 basis points and 50 basis points, due to a decrease in net gains on insurance settlements for comparable hotels of $21 million for both periods, while increases in room rates were able to offset an increase in wages expense.

Current report

During the first half of 2025, strong leisure transient demand has led to year-over-year comparable hotel RevPAR improvement of 5.0%. Results reflect the improving leisure demand on Maui and an increase in transient revenue driven by higher average rates, particularly at our resorts. Overall, year-to-date results have not reflected material impacts from recent economic policy changes; however, as anticipated, group demand declined in the second quarter due to renovation disruption and business mix shifting in Maui from group to transient.

Current report

For the remainder of the year, we expect that demand will continue to be driven by transient business, as we anticipate continued softness in short-term group bookings due to persistent uncertainty surrounding trade and economic policy. Additionally, international inbound travel continues to face headwinds from shifting global travel patterns, as evolving trade and immigration policy tempers inbound demand, while outbound travel remains elevated. Other risks to economic growth remain, including high interest rates, geopolitical instability, and labor market conditions that, while generally stable, are loosening as both labor participation and hiring momentum soften. As a result, U.S. GDP growth consensus expectations remain at 1.4% for 2025, representing a slowdown from 2.8% growth in 2024, with forecasts for the second half of the year remaining cautious.

Current report

Financing Transactions. During the second quarter, we issued $500 million of 5.7% Series M senior notes for proceeds of approximately $490 million, net of de minimis original issue discount, underwriting fees and other expenses. The net proceeds were used to redeem all $500 million of Series E senior notes due in June 2025.

Current report

Dispositions. During the second quarter, we sold The Westin Cincinnati for $60 million and recorded a gain on sale of $21 million.

Current report

Other gains. Other gains include the $21 million gain on sale of The Westin Cincinnati during the second quarter of 2025.

Current report

Equity in earnings of affiliates. Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $2 million and $4 million for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, primarily due to improved operations at our non-consolidated properties and an increase in sales at our Maui timeshare joint venture.

Current report

For the second quarter and year-to-date 2025, transient revenue increased by 6.8% and 5.8%, respectively, reflecting strong transient demand and improving leisure demand on Maui, which led to an increase in average rates of 5.1% and 5.3% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Group revenue decreased by 4.9% for the second quarter, as anticipated, as a result of planned renovation disruption from the Hyatt Transformational Capital Program and business mix shifting from group to transient in Maui, as well as softness in short-term group demand which is expected to continue for the remainder of the year. Year-to-date, group revenue increased 0.6% compared to 2024, benefiting from special events in the first quarter of 2025.

Current report

Senior Notes. On May 20, 2025, we issued $500 million of 5.7% Series M senior notes in an underwritten public offering for proceeds of approximately $490 million, net of de minimis original issue discount, underwriting fees and other expenses. The Series M senior notes are due in June 2032, and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2025. The net proceeds were used to redeem all $500 million of Series E senior notes due in June 2025. The Series M senior notes are not redeemable prior to 60 days before the June 15, 2032 maturity date, except at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. The Series M senior notes have covenants similar to all other series of our outstanding senior notes.
Removed paragraphs (5)

Previous report

For the first quarter of 2025 operating profit margin (under GAAP) declined 190 basis points to 17.9%, primarily due to a $21 million decrease in insurance gains recognized during the quarter. Our comparable hotel EBITDA margin was 31.8%, an increase of 30 basis points compared to the same period in 2024, as improvements in average rates were able to offset an increase in wages expense.

Previous report

During the first quarter of 2025, group business at our properties remained strong, driven by higher average rates as well as occupancy improvements at our resorts. In addition, first quarter results reflect the improving leisure demand on Maui and a continued recovery in business transient. The first quarter of 2025 also benefited from special events, including the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C. and the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Overall, the first quarter results have not reflected material impacts from recent economic policy changes.

Previous report

However, on the macroeconomic front, recent heightened uncertainty surrounding trade policy and government spending are expected to weigh on growth through the remainder of 2025. Historically, economic uncertainty has hindered business investment, which is strongly correlated to business transient and group demand. Additionally, international inbound faces headwinds from U.S. trade and other policies, while the full economic impact of heightened tariffs and financial market volatility remains fluid. Other risks to economic growth remain, including high interest rates and geopolitical instability. As a result, leading indicators point toward slower economic growth for the remainder of 2025. The April 2025 Blue Chip Economic Indicators survey shows a sharp downward revision to consensus expectations for U.S. GDP growth in 2025, from 2.0% down to 1.4%, reflecting an immediate reaction to the initial tariff announcements. Business investment growth is also anticipated to slow over the coming year due to the heightened uncertainty and anticipated margin pressures, with only 1.2% growth, down from a 2.3% growth forecast in February.

Previous report

Approximately 45% of the total estimated costs of the program have been spent as of March 31, 2025, and we spent approximately $19 million during the first quarter of 2025, which is included in ROI capital projects. During the first quarter of 2025, we completed the project at Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead and expect to complete projects at the Hyatt Regency Austin and Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill later this year.

Previous report

For the first quarter, group revenue increased by 5.9% compared to 2024, driven by a 6.5% increase in average rates in part due to special events, including the inauguration in Washington, D.C. and the Super Bowl in New Orleans. In addition, transient revenue increased by 4.7% for the first quarter, reflecting the improving leisure demand on Maui and an increase in transient demand at our other resorts. Results reflect lower group room nights in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 2024 as our properties in Maui benefited from recovery and relief group business in the first quarter of 2024, which was more than offset by the increase in group room rates.

Previous wording

Total revenues increased $123 million, or 8.4%, as compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by a 5.7% increase in room rates at our comparable hotels as well as continued strong group business driving food and beverage revenues. The first quarter also benefited from the 2024 acquisitions of the 1 Hotel Nashville and Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown, 1 Hotel Central Park and The Ritz-Carlton O'ahu, Turtle Bay. However, this was partially offset by the closure of The Don CeSar through March 26, 2025, following the impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in September and October 2024, respectively. Comparable hotel RevPAR increased 7.0% for the quarter, primarily due to the increase in room rates, reflecting continued strong group demand, improving recovery in Maui for the quarter as well as market specific events such as the inauguration in Washington, D.C. and the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

Current wording

Total revenues increased $120 million, or 8.2%, and $243 million, or 8.3%, for the second quarter and year-to-date 2025, respectively, as compared to 2024. The improvements for the quarter were driven by a 3.7% increase in room rates at our comparable hotels, primarily due to strong transient demand, coupled with increases in food and beverage revenues and ancillary spend. Second quarter and year-to-date total revenues also benefited from the 2024 acquisitions of the 1 Hotel Nashville and Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown, 1 Hotel Central Park and The Ritz-Carlton O'ahu, Turtle Bay (collectively, the "2024 Acquisitions"). Comparable hotel RevPAR increased 3.0% and 5.0% for the quarter and year-to-date 2025, respectively, primarily due to the increase in room rates and strong transient demand, along with the continuing recovery in Maui, which more than offset a decline in group demand due to planned renovation disruption and business mix shifting from group to transient in Maui.

Previous wording

Comparable hotel Total RevPAR increased 5.8% for the first quarter, compared to 2024, primarily due to the rate increases and improvements in food and beverage revenues driven by continued strength in group business. The growth was led by our Washington, D.C., Nashville and New York markets with increases of 19.2%, 16.8% and 14.0%, respectively, in the first quarter, driven by both rate and occupancy growth. The Washington, D.C. market benefited from the Presidential Inauguration, while the increases at our Nashville and New York properties were driven by group business. Our New Orleans market also outperformed with growth of 9.6% due to the Super Bowl. These strong performances were partially offset by comparable hotel Total RevPAR declines in our San Diego and Seattle markets of 4.2% and 1.8%, respectively. In San Diego, there were less citywide events leading to a decline in group demand, while our Seattle properties had less contribution from group business. Comparable hotel Total RevPAR in our Maui market grew 6.8% over the first quarter of 2024, as its recovery from the wildfires continues.

Current wording

Comparable hotel Total RevPAR increased 4.2% for the second quarter 2025 compared to 2024, due primarily to the rate increases and improvements in food and beverage revenues driven by strength in transient business. Comparable hotel Total RevPAR increased 5.0% for year-to-date 2025 compared to 2024. For the quarter, the growth was led by our Atlanta, Maui, Miami and San Francisco/San Jose markets with increases of 20.8%, 18.5%, 16.4% and 15.7%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2024 , driven by rate growth and strong transient demand. The San Francisco/San Jose market benefited from an improved citywide events calendar and Maui continued its recovery from the wildfires. These strong performances were partially offset by comparable hotel Total RevPAR declines in our Austin and Washington, D.C. (CBD) markets of 34.6% and 11.0%, respectively. Both markets were impacted by large-scale renovation projects at certain properties, while Austin was further impacted by the beginning of the multi-year closure of the city's convention center.

Previous wording

Net income decreased $21 million, or 7.7%, for the quarter, primarily due to a decline in gains on insurance settlements and an increase in interest expense, partially offset by the improvements in operations. These changes led to a decrease in diluted earnings per share of $0.03, or 7.9%, for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDAre, which excludes property insurance gains and interest expense, among other items, increased $25 million to $514 million. Adjusted FFO per diluted share increased $0.03 to $0.64 for the first quarter, reflecting the improvement in Adjusted EBITDAre, partially offset by an increase in interest expense which is included in Adjusted FFO per diluted share but not Adjusted EBITDAre.

Current wording

Net income decreased $17 million and $38 million for the quarter and year-to-date 2025, respectively, as recent acquisitions, improvements in operating results and a $21 million gain on asset sales were offset by the declines in net gains on insurance settlements noted above and increases in depreciation, interest expense, and income taxes. These changes led to a decrease in diluted earnings per share of $0.02, or 5.9%, and $0.05, or 6.9%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. Adjusted EBITDAre, which excludes gain on property insurance, gain on asset sale, depreciation, interest expense and taxes, increased $15 million and $40 million for the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively, as improvements in operations and earnings from our 2024 Acquisitions more than offset a decline in business interruption proceeds and wage increases. Adjusted FFO per diluted share increased $0.01, or 1.8%, for the quarter and increased $0.02, or 1.7%, for year-to-date, reflecting the changes in Adjusted EBITDAre partially offset by increases in interest expense and income taxes which are included in Adjusted FFO per diluted share but not Adjusted EBITDAre.

Previous wording

Despite the macroeconomic uncertainty, we are maintaining our prior 2025 comparable hotel RevPAR growth guidance range, as there have not been any material declines in demand trends, though we are beginning to see moderating trends in group lead volume. Our forecast assumes comparable hotel RevPAR growth will be between 0.5% and 2.5% for the full year 2025. The forecast assumes a moderate recovery at our Maui properties; however, the timing of Maui's full recovery remains uncertain. In addition, we continue to expect margins to decline in comparison to 2024, driven by higher wages and benefits, including increases driven by new union contracts in certain cities, as well as growth in insurance and real estate taxes.

Current wording

Based on the trends noted, we expect comparable hotel RevPAR growth for the full year 2025 will be between 1.5% and 2.5%, reflecting an expected decline in comparable hotel RevPAR in the third quarter year-over-year and modest growth in the fourth quarter. The forecast assumes continued recovery at our Maui properties; however, the timing of Maui's full recovery remains uncertain. In addition, we continue to expect margins to decline in comparison to 2024, driven by higher wages and benefits, including increases driven by new union contracts in certain cities.

Previous wording

Capital Projects. During the first quarter of 2025, we spent approximately $46 million on return on investment ("ROI") capital projects, $61 million on renewal and replacement projects, and $39 million on hurricane and other restoration work. This included our continuing restoration efforts at The Don CeSar following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, for which we estimate the total property reconstruction and remediation costs, including resiliency enhancements, to be approximately $100 million to $110 million of which approximately 25-30% relates to remediation costs. The Don CeSar reopened to guests on March 26, 2025, as part of a phased reopening, with amenities such as the retail space, restaurant and second pool expected to re-open in the summer of 2025. As of April 30, 2025, we have received total insurance proceeds of $20 million related to our claims, of which $10 million has been recognized as business interruption proceeds in the first quarter of 2025.

Current wording

Capital Projects. Through the second quarter of 2025, we spent approximately $109 million on return on investment ("ROI") capital projects, $129 million on renewal and replacement projects, and $60 million on hurricane and other restoration work. This included our continuing restoration efforts at The Don CeSar following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, for which we estimate the total property reconstruction and remediation costs, including resiliency enhancements, to be approximately $100 million to $105 million of which approximately 30% relates to remediation costs. The Don CeSar reopened to guests on March 26, 2025, as part of a phased reopening, with the remaining amenities expected to re-open later this year. As of June 30, 2025, we have received total insurance proceeds of $29 million related to our claims, of which $19 million has been recognized as business interruption proceeds, including $9 million in the second quarter of 2025. Subsequent to quarter end, we received an additional $10 million of insurance proceeds, of which $5 million related to business interruption.

Previous wording

In collaboration with Hyatt, we initiated a transformational capital program in 2023 on six properties in our portfolio. These investments are intended to position the targeted hotels to compete better in their respective markets while seeking to enhance long-term performance. We expect to invest approximately $125 million to $200 million per year on this program through 2027. Hyatt has agreed to provide additional priority returns on the agreed upon investments and operating profit guarantees totaling $40 million to offset expected business disruptions.

Previous wording

Total revenues for the first quarter increased 8.4% compared to the first quarter of 2024, due to an increase in room rates, improvements in food and beverage revenues driven by continued strong group business, improving leisure demand on Maui, and other market-specific events. Our 2025 revenues also benefited from the operations of our 2024 acquisitions, including 1 Hotel Nashville and Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown acquired in April 2024, 1 Hotel Central Park acquired in July 2024, and The Ritz-Carlton O'ahu, Turtle Bay acquired in July 2024 (collectively, the "2024 Acquisitions"). The improvements were partially offset by the closure of The Don CeSar, which closed in September 2024 due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and reopened on March 26, 2025.

Current wording

Total revenues for the second quarter and year-to-date increased 8.2% and 8.3%, respectively compared to 2024, due to an increase in room rates driven by strong transient demand, partially offset by a decline in group demand due to planned renovation disruption and business mix shifting from group to transient on Maui. Second quarter and year-to-date total revenues also benefited from the operations of our 2024 acquisitions, including 1 Hotel Nashville and Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown acquired in April 2024, 1 Hotel Central Park acquired in July 2024, and The Ritz-Carlton O'ahu, Turtle Bay acquired in July 2024. The year-to-date improvements were partially offset by the closure of The Don CeSar, which closed in September 2024 due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and reopened to guests on March 26, 2025 as part of a phased reopening.

Previous wording

Rooms. Total rooms revenues increased $85 million, or 10.0%, for the first quarter compared to 2024, reflecting the operations of the 2024 Acquisitions and an increase at our comparable hotels of $51 million, or 5.8%, for the quarter driven by a 5.7% increase in average room rate coupled with an 80 basis point improvement in occupancy.

Current wording

Rooms. Total rooms revenues increased $64 million, or 7.2%, and $149 million, or 8.6%, for the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively, compared to 2024, reflecting the operations of the 2024 Acquisitions and an increase at our comparable hotels of $27 million, or 3.0%, and $79 million, or 4.4%, for the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively, driven primarily by an increase in average room rate of 3.7% and 4.7%, respectively, and an increase in transient demand.

Previous wording

Food and beverage. Total food and beverage ("F&B") revenues increased $30 million, or 6.3%, for the first quarter compared to 2024 due to the 2024 Acquisitions and an increase in comparable F&B revenues of $18 million, or 3.7%, which was driven by contribution growth in banquet and audio-visual revenues, as well as an increase in outlet revenues from the improving recovery on Maui.

Current wording

Food and beverage. Total food and beverage ("F&B") revenues increased $31 million, or 6.9%, for the quarter and $61 million, or 6.6%, year-to-date, compared to 2024, due to results of the 2024 Acquisitions and an increase in comparable F&B revenues of $18 million, or 4.0%, and $36 million, or 3.9%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. The increases were driven by strong outlet revenues from our resorts, specifically our Maui resorts as the recovery continues, as well as the completion of ROI projects at several restaurant locations. For the year-to-date, F&B revenue growth was also driven by contribution growth in banquet and audio-visual revenues.

Previous wording

Other revenues. Total other revenues increased $8 million, or 5.5%, for the first quarter compared to 2024 driven by results from the 2024 Acquisitions. Other revenues at our comparable hotels increased $2 million, or 1.3%, primarily due to an increase in spa, golf and other ancillary revenues as the recovery continues on Maui, though these increases were partially offset by a decrease in attrition and cancelation fees from record levels recorded in the first quarter of 2024 related to Maui.

Current wording

Other revenues. Total other revenues increased $25 million, or 18.7%, and $33 million, or 11.8%, for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, compared to 2024, driven by results from the 2024 Acquisitions. Other revenues at our comparable hotels increased $18 million, or 13.1%, for the quarter and $19 million, or 6.6%, year-to-date, primarily due to an increase in spa, golf and other ancillary revenues, driven by the continued recovery on Maui, and an increase in attrition and cancellation fees during the second quarter.

Previous wording

Our operating costs and expenses, which consist of both fixed and variable components, are affected by several factors. Rooms expenses are affected mainly by occupancy, which drives costs related to items such as housekeeping, reservation systems, room supplies, laundry services and front desk costs. Food and beverage expenses correlate closely with food and beverage revenues and are affected by occupancy and the mix of business between banquet, audio-visual and outlet sales. However, the most significant expense for the rooms, food and beverage, and other departmental and support expenses is wages and employee benefits, which comprise approximately 57% of these expenses. For the first quarter of 2025, these expenses increased approximately 6% on a per available room basis compared to 2024, primarily due to an overall increase in general wage rates and benefits. Wage and benefit rate inflation is expected to be approximately 6% in 2025.
